India Vs England LIVE Score, 1st Test Day 5: Wickets Key For IND As Duckett, Crawley Kick Off Second Session | Outlook India

Despite the drizzle picking up slightly and umbrellas popping up around Headingley, England's openers remained unfazed, continuing their steady march in the chase. Ben Duckett neatly tucked Bumrah off his pads for a couple before driving confidently through midwicket for two more, as six runs came from the over.

Siraj, meanwhile, leaked singles with inconsistent lines, including a leg bye, and even struck Rishabh Pant painfully on the knee with a wayward delivery, causing a brief moment of discomfort for the Indian keeper. Siraj, however, ended the over with a beauty that beat Crawley바카라™s outside edge, offering a glimmer of hope in an otherwise frustrating phase for India.

A brief spell of drizzle during the lunch interval brought the main covers on at Headingley, with a few umbrellas popping up in the Western Terrace. However, the rain was light enough for Akash Deep to continue bowling on a practice pitch, and just minutes later, the covers were rolled off again.

Ravi Shastri speaking for Sky Sports says, "The ball didn't seam as much as India would have hoped for and it didn't swing enough, although the bounce was a little up and down.

"India bowled better than they did yesterday but they have to be patient.

"I would like to see a long spell for Jadeja and the three seamers rotating from the Kirkstall Lane End.

"Gill followed the ball at times with his fields when you have to be clear-cut in your mindset and show you want to win, have catching fielders.

"Once you get a couple of wickets, the game can turn on its head. Then the pressure goes on the opposition."

England head to lunch on Day 5 with all ten wickets intact, thanks to a resolute and confident opening stand between Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett, who have taken their team to 117 without loss in pursuit of 371. With just a minute left on the clock before the break, Crawley cleverly ensured that Jasprit Bumrah wouldn't bowl another over, preserving England바카라™s momentum as they walked off unscathed.

The Indian bowlers, especially Bumrah and Siraj, found movement under overcast skies 바카라” ideal bowling conditions 바카라” but couldn바카라™t capitalise, with chances going down and luck eluding them.

England have now added 96 runs in the first session to their overnight score of 21, reducing the target to 254 from 66 overs, and placing themselves firmly in the game. Despite a forecast of early rain, the skies stayed dry, and Crawley (on 42*) and Duckett (on 64*) made full use of the conditions. It바카라™s been a near-flawless effort so far from the English openers 바카라” cautious when needed, aggressive when possible 바카라” as India find themselves needing something special to break through in this gripping final-day battle.

Finally, India had a small win as the ball was changed after failing the ring test, much to Jadeja바카라™s delight, who playfully celebrated in front of umpire Gaffaney, drawing a smile as the match continued to bubble with intensity. A chaotic and eventful passage of play unfolded at Headingley as India continued to search desperately for a breakthrough. Ravindra Jadeja bowled a tight maiden, nearly creating a chance when Crawley top-edged a paddle sweep onto his chest, but the ball landed safely.

At the other end, Bumrah struck Duckett on the pad, prompting a half-hearted appeal, though it was sliding down leg and Shubman Gill wisely opted against the review, with replays later showing umpire바카라™s call. Duckett responded with a crisp drive off a full toss for three, before the over turned dramatic 바카라” Bumrah dropped a sharp return catch off Crawley, the ball flying low to his weaker left hand. To add to the drama, a wild delivery down leg resulted in four byes.

A commanding statement from England바카라™s openers as Zak Crawley drives a crisp boundary through cover point to bring up a 100-run partnership with Ben Duckett, setting the tone in their pursuit of 371. The shot 바카라” a textbook punch off a good length delivery outside off 바카라” raced past a deep backward point and into the fence, underlining the authority with which the pair have batted.

It바카라™s been a dominant opening stand, marked by balance, positive intent, and sharp shot selection, as Crawley and Duckett continue to frustrate India in what is shaping up to be a gripping final day at Headingley.

A huge roar erupts from the Headingley crowd as Ben Duckett brings up his second fifty of the match and the 15th of his Test career, nudging Shardul Thakur behind square on the leg side for a single. Reaching the milestone off just 66 balls, Duckett바카라™s knock has once again epitomised control and intent 바카라” key hallmarks of his resurgence since being reintroduced to the England side in late 2022 after a six-year absence.

In the Bazball era, Duckett has become a vital cog at the top, combining fearless strokeplay with smart game awareness, and his calm presence this morning has laid a solid platform for England in their daunting chase of 371.

It바카라™s drinks on the final morning at Headingley, and England바카라™s openers have done a commendable job weathering the early pressure in testing conditions under lights. Ben Duckett (34*) and Zak Crawley (23*) have added 63 unbeaten runs, showing solid temperament against India바카라™s new-ball attack.

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj asked plenty of questions, but without reward, while Shardul Thakur struggled for consistency, conceding runs at a costly rate. India also burned a review on an optimistic lbw appeal against Crawley, with replays confirming the ball was comfortably missing leg stump. With 308 runs still needed for victory, England have made a steady start to what promises to be a gripping final day.

India opted for a review against Zak Crawley for a potential lbw off Mohammed Siraj, as the England opener, batting well outside his crease, attempted a flick to the leg side and was struck on the pad. However, the decision quickly went against the visitors upon review 바카라” with ball-tracking confirming what was evident to the naked eye: Crawley was far down the pitch and the ball was comfortably missing leg stump. A hopeful referral that came to nothing for India, who continue their search for an early breakthrough.

No breakthrough yet for India, but the pressure is steadily mounting on the English openers as Bumrah and Siraj probe relentlessly. Bumrah offers Ben Duckett a couple of tempting short and wide deliveries outside off, but the left-hander wisely resists the urge on the first and only half-commits to the second, which dies just short of the slip cordon.

The real action, however, comes from the other end where Siraj produces a peach 바카라” a sharp nip-backer that slices through Zak Crawley바카라™s attempted drive and nearly shaves the off stump. He follows it up with another vicious in-ducker that thuds into the pads, prompting an optimistic lbw appeal, though replays suggest it was bouncing over. A superb over from Siraj 바카라” full of menace, movement, and growing signs that a wicket may not be far off.

The final day at Headingley is underway with Jasprit Bumrah starting around the wicket to Ben Duckett, who cautiously negotiates the opening deliveries, pushing the first into the off-side before defending a sharp second ball that kicks up off a length. Duckett momentarily shifts the momentum by driving a crisp boundary through the covers off the third ball. Bumrah finishes the over with a peach 바카라” a delivery that angles in and then seams away past Duckett바카라™s edge like an off-break, drawing gasps.

Mohammed Siraj follows up from the other end, with Zak Crawley inside-edging the first ball for a single. Duckett then absorbs pressure through a series of dot balls before pinching a single off the last to retain strike, as the early exchanges hint at the tension and quality that lie ahead.

We바카라™re all set for a thrilling finale at Headingley as Day 5 gets underway! The players and umpires are walking out, with KL Rahul rallying his teammates in the Indian huddle, firing them up for the final push. England have opted for a heavy roller, hoping for a flattening effect on the pitch, as openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley stride out to resume their chase of 350 more runs. Let the final chapter of this classic Test begin!

A moment of silence was observed at Headingley as players and match officials from both teams lined up wearing black armbands in memory of legendary Indian left-arm spinner Dilip Joshi, whose passing has cast a shadow over the day바카라™s play. As a mark of respect, the teams stood together in solemn tribute, honoring a cricketer whose contributions to Indian cricket left an indelible mark.

Pitch Report By Sunil Gavaskar For Sony Sports Network: "Extremely overcast conditions here at Headingley. The fast bowlers will love it, but there isn바카라™t much help for them on this surface because the grass has been shaved off, and it looks like a dry, almost Indian pitch. The footmarks created by the pacers will aid the spinners. The pacers will be looking to bowl from Kirkstall Lane end. There are plenty of cracks a bit outside the off stump from that end.

The hover cover has been taken off, and there바카라™s a sense of anticipation in the air as both teams begin their warm-ups ahead of a crucial final day at Headingley. India are gathered in a tight huddle with mentor Gautam Gambhir seen addressing the players with intensity, likely laying out the plan for an early breakthrough.

On the other side, England바카라™s relaxed approach continues with Brendon McCullum casually giving underarm throws to Ben Duckett and then Joe Root, keeping the mood light but focused. The stage is set for a gripping finish as the players gear up for what could be a defining day in the series.

Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant who scored two centuries with the bat in the ongoing Headingley Test, was reprimanded by the ICC for showing dissent at an umpire's decision during the third day's play ahead of day 5 action Tuesday.
